I'm showing my age again, my main complaint about the PC version of Talisman is that it isn't the first edition board from 1983 I remember so fondly. But of course I greenlighted it on Steam anyway. Would I buy this game if it were available on Steam? Instantly!

Talisman was my first "roleplaying" game, in as far as it was the first game in which I played a "character" with "stats". Later I graduated from that to pen & paper roleplaying games, but Talisman had a huge influence on my life as a gamer. I'm very happy that this will now finally be turned into a computer game.

I actually own every edition of talisman, and all of the expansions for the 2nd and third editions. If I had anyone to play with where I currently live, I'd run out and buy everything for the current edition.

Talisman is the kind of game you remember fondly but really don't want coming out of that closet. 2-4 hours full of purely random events without any rhyme of reason. Games are so much more fun and interesting today!

There’s some really great stuff coming out on the Greenlight. I’ve voted to support somewhere between 90-100 games now. Only one of them’s been greenlit, though: Black Mesa.
